The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Wastewater treatment plant expansion—Allocation of capacity
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
A.
The remaining expansion capacity of five hundred forty-six thousand one hundred sixty
gallons per day (gpd) at the regional wastewater treatment plant shall be allocated
as follows:
1.
Long-term residential housing: two hundred thousand gpd;
2.
Public/quasi-public uses: fifty thousand gpd;
3.
Kihei research and technology park: twenty-six thousand five hundred gpd;
4.
Wailea Resort: sixty-two thousand two hundred gpd;
a.
Long-term residential housing: forty-seven thousand two hundred gpd,
b.
Unspecified uses except for hotels: fifteen thousand gpd;
5.
All other developments shall be allocated upon availability of capacity subsequent
to the deduction of the wastewater allocations for subsections A1, 2, 3, and 4, and
provided that the council, by resolution, must approve each request for wastewater
capacity for hotel uses: two hundred seven thousand four hundred sixty gpd.
B.
In making this determination, where capacity is available and the development of the
applicant next in line exceeds the available capacity, the director may in his discretion
allocate such available capacities to later applicants in the order of permit issuance.
Prior to making such a determination, the director shall allow the applicant, whose
development exceeds the available capacity, thirty days within which to make adjustments
to the development plans. If the adjustments bring the flow projections within the
available capacity, the said applicant shall be allowed to connect to the extent of
the reduced capacity. Should said applicant fail to adjust the development plans to
said development's wastewater flow demands to a flow not exceeding the available capacity
within said thirty days, the director may proceed to allocate available capacity in
the manner noted hereinabove.
The formula for calculating additional capacity for developments other than long-term
residential is as follows:
DC - (ADF + RR) = capacity available for developments other than long-term residential
developments.
C.
All developments which utilize the expansion capacity shall comply with the applicable
terms of any sewer impact fee or assessment ordinance adopted on or before December
31, 1994.
